A doll having two heads and including a doll head turning mechanism, comprising:
- a trunk portion provided with front, back and upper openings, said front and upper openings in communication, said upper and back openings in communication and said front and back openings including lower portions;
- front and back plates including lower portions mounted pivotally to said trunk portion generally at said lower portions of said respective front and back openings;
- first bias means urging said front and back plates towards each other to normally reside in and normally close said front and back openings;
- an upper plate mounted rotatably to said trunk portion and extending generally across said upper opening;
- second bias means urging said upper plate and said head members in a first direction of rotation and causing said upper plate to normally reside in and normally close said upper opening;
- said front, back and upper plates cooperatively forming a normally closed hollow trunk portion therebetween upon said plates closing said openings;
- first and second heads mounted on said upper plate in diametric opposition to each other and for rotation with said upper plate, said first head member normally being in an exposed position and said second head member normally residing and being concealed in said normally closed hollow trunk portion;
- upon a first force being applied to said normally exposed doll head to rotate said upper plate and said doll heads in a second direction of rotation opposite said first direction of rotation and in opposition to the influence of,said second bias means, energy being stored in said second bias means and said upper plate rotating in and opening said upper opening and said normally concealed doll head engaging one of said plates and said normally exposed doll head engaging the other of said plates to force said front and back plates apart and out of said front and back openings to open said normally closed hollow trunk portion and to permit said normally concealed doll head to be rotated between said plates and upon said front and back plates being returned to said front and back openings under the influence of said first bias means and upon said upper plate reclosing said upper opening under the influence of said second bias means, said normally closed hollow trunk portion being reclosed and said normally exposed doll head being concealed in said hollow trunk portion and said normally concealed doll head being exposed;
- said upper plate and said one plate provided with cooperative engaging means for preventing said upper plate and said doll heads from being rotated in said first direction of rotation under the influence of said second bias means while said normally concealed head is exposed and while said normally exposed head is concealed;
- and
- upon an inwardly acting second force being applied to said one plate below the point at which said one plate is mounted pivotally to said trunk portion, said one plate being pivoted laterally away from said other plate to cause said cooperative engaging means to become disengaged to permit said second bias means and said energy stored therein to rotate said upper plate and said doll heads in said first direction of rotation to again force said plates apart to reopen said hollow trunk portion and return said normally exposed doll head to an exposed position and to return said normally concealed doll head to a concealed position in said hollow trunk portion upon said first bias means returning said front and back plates to said front and back openings and upon said second bias means causing said upper plate to reclose said upper opening.
